The Kaput Center

The Kaput Center for Research and Innovation in STEM Education at the
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth has been established in the
spirit and vision of James Kaput, whose innovative thinking and
leadership inspired many in the field of mathematics education. The
purpose of this Center is to provide a focus and support for sustained
investigation of foundational issues in the fields of Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, issues that
will be chosen to enhance and deepen ongoing research by its members
and associates. The Center is an interdisciplinary research unit where
fundamental problems in STEM education will be studied, discussed and
analyzed through conferences, interdisciplinary colloquium series,
basic research and development, commissioned reports, and think-tank
meetings.
